Hand-Painted Bead Necklace Craft Class

I held my first Arlington Community Education craft class of the season last night and it was a blast! We had an intimate group of ladies and we crafted, chatted, and made beautiful hand-made gold leaf frames. Everyone walked away with an adorable frame of their own. The next class is scheduled for Wednesday, AprilContinue reading “Hand-Painted Bead Necklace Craft Class”

DIY St. Patrick’s Day T-Shirt

I am (mostly) Irish. And combined with my husband’s German and Italian genes, my Z is like 35% Irish. But not being 100% certainly doesn’t stop us from celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in style! We always celebrate with beer (although not me this year), food – making Irish soda bread and always Irish corned beef and cabbage, andContinue reading “DIY St. Patrick’s Day T-Shirt”

Pretty (Yet Inexpensive!) Gift Wrap

I know you’re not supposed to “judge a book by its cover,” but I sure do love a well-wrapped gift. I’ve shared all sorts of how-to’s on gift wrap with you before from DIY Gift Wrap to Hand-Decorated Gift Bags to Homemade Gift Tags. But sometimes, there’s nothing like some pretty store-bought wrapping paper, right?Continue reading “Pretty (Yet Inexpensive!) Gift Wrap”

DIY Paper-Covered Light Switch Cover

We’ve been making a few changes to our Z’s bedroom to grow from nursery to toddler room – she has a bed, new dresser, and at some point we’ll move out the glider chair and bring in the teepee Santa brought her for Christmas. It’s all very exciting! One small change I made recently wasContinue reading “DIY Paper-Covered Light Switch Cover”

A Valentine Full of Kisses

Kissing is a big part of Valentine’s, right? And our little Z is so full of love and kisses that we thought we’d send kisses to some loved ones as our annual Valentine’s Day card. I thought I’d pass along the idea if you’re looking for a cute little something to send your loved onesContinue reading “A Valentine Full of Kisses”

Thank You Note

I like sending thank you notes. Mostly because how exciting is it to receive real mail these days, right? Other than the many cards received around Christmas there’s not much personal mail anymore. So, since the most gift-giving time of year has just come and gone I thought it was the perfect opportunity to shareContinue reading “Thank You Note”

Christmas Wrapping – The Gifts

The gifts are wrapped and under the tree! Actually, they’re upstairs in my office because someone in our house is addicted to unwrapping presents ever since her 2nd birthday and at the very site of a gift runs up and tares off the paper. Yes, I posed these under the tree and immediately brought themContinue reading “Christmas Wrapping – The Gifts”
